SPOILERS: TNA Impact Wrestling for May 19

-Immortal comes out to the ring. They say that Hulk Hogan and Mick Foley are in NYC to meet with the Network. Tonight Immortal is in charge. Brian Kendrick brings a bunch of X-Division wrestlers to interrupt so Bischoff books them in matches. Immortal then attacks the X-Division guys until Fortune makes the save.

-Samoa Joe def. Amazing Red in a quick match. Joe kept trash talking him so Crimson made the save.

-Tommy Dreamer and AJ Styles, who is wearing a neck brace, talk in the ring. Dreamer lays him out and Christopher Daniels makes the save. Bully Ray attacks Styles. Dreamer keeps attacking Styles and he has to be helped out of the ring.

-Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett meet in the ring and make a match for Slammiversary. The winner will be the number one contender for the TNA Title. Angle mentions that Karen is gone because of Sacrifice. Jarrett says if he win then he’ll get Angle’s medals. Karen comes out in a wheelchair and Velvet Sky shoves her down the ramp.

This entire show sounds bad on paper, but it might come across better on TV. Abyss as X-Division champ though, I just don’t get. This is Vince Russo after all though, oh and of course, Bischoff getting the pin in a tag match? SMH at that one too. Just my opinion here, but I really believe right about now, that TNA, has become, WCW ver2. Again, my own opinion, you can disagree with it if you want, you are more than welcome to.

How is Abyss having the X-division title a facepalm? Joe, Nash, Angle, and Sonny Siaki all had it lol. I’m not saying you’re wrong but it’s not the first time it was thrown around to strange places lol.

Xplosion commissioner? The one-hour show that no one watches has a commissioner character? Why? What major choices would that character have in the compnay in the story? In order to have a character with administrative power he needs to have a title and position OF POWER lol.

no i dont disagree with you matt tna is making a joke out of the X-Division and the X-Division championship abyss come on i wish they would go back to the old days when the X-Division and the X-Division championship ment something

Abyss, X-Division Champion. Well if we go by the X-Division motto which is “The X-Division isn’t about weight limits. It’s about no limits.” then it makes perfect sense.

Also the X-Division title is one of the 4 requirements of the TNA/Impact Wrestling Grand Slam so it makes sense in that regard too despite the fact that X-Division title has always been around Crusierweight wrestlers up until now.

I wish they would put Christopher Daniels in the World title hunt and let him win at least once as he deserves it.

@ Meh – “Abyss, X-Division Champion. Well if we go by the X-Division motto which is “The X-Division isn’t about weight limits. It’s about no limits.” then it makes perfect sense.

Also the X-Division title is one of the 4 requirements of the TNA/Impact Wrestling Grand Slam so it makes sense in that regard too despite the fact that X-Division title has always been around Crusierweight wrestlers up until now.”

Seriously? Since when is a 280-290 pound man considered a cruiserweight? Oh yeah. You must be forgetting that Samoa Joe is a 4x X-Division Champ.

Comparing Joe to Abyss is ridiculous in this scenario. Seriously, c’mon now. The title has always been about the fast paced wrestling style. Siaki as champ was terrible. Nash as champ was terrible. When Angle wrestled X Division guys, he wrestled their style.

But this is pretty much just a revival of that Nash storyline anyway. Powers that be doesn’t give X Division respect. Big guy wins title. People hate it and wonder why the division only matters when someone is trying to destroy it. Same ol’ TNA.

I don’t really care that Abyss is the X Division Champion because the X Title and all titles for that matter are almost meaningless. A 52 year old is TNA’s World Champion, a security guard went from getting beat up every week to all of a sudden being the TV Champion with no build up, and the X Title has been tossed around like a hot potato the last few years.

Cena is a 10 time champion and Orton is an 8 time champion all within a 7 year span. In that same 7 years, Edge won a heavyweight title 11 times, Triple H 5 times, Batista 7 times and The Undertaker, CM Punk, Jeff Hardy, Kane, Rey Mysterio, Booker T, JBL, Jack Swagger, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Christian, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, and The Great Khali have all had runs with them as well. The US and IC Titles go months without being defended, the WWE Tag Titles go from one non tag team to another, the Diva’s title is on one of the twins that just hung out backstage with celebrities for a year.

The only titles that mean anything right now in either company is the TNA Tag Team and Knockout’s titles. Even they have lost prestige.

TNA has officially burried anything that gave it credibility. I love Beer Money, but TNA shit on the X Division. And giving the X Division title to Abyss was like Vince McMahon killing WCW in 5 monthes, completely burring and taking all credibility away from the X Division.

I think all the titles in TNA need to be take n away from Fortune and Immortal they don’t need the titles for the storyline put them on other people British Invasion for example for TagTitles Xtitle im not saying Abyss isn’t good coz he is but could be on like 10-15 guys that would do good stuff for their career.

Joe was X-Division champ. Do I agree with the title on Abyss? Nope. But since when have titles meant anything as of late in the WWE or TNA? Hell the WWE title lost all credibility when Vince was champ.
